At the forefront of this technology is WAMGROUP, a global leader in the manufacture of screw conveyors, feeders, vertical screw conveyors, drag chain conveyors, and bucket elevators. With a comprehensive range of equipment and a strong focus on engineering innovation, WAMGROUP is redefining industry expectations for performance, reliability and sustainability.
Conveying Intelligence: From Horizontal to Vertical
Screw conveyors and feeders are essential components in many process plants, and WAMGROUP enhances their value through modular design, robust construction, and application-specific configurations. Whether feeding additives in a chemical process or conveying flour in a food-grade system, WAMGROUP’s screw feeders and conveyors are engineered for minimum residue, consistent throughput rate, and long service life.
For vertical conveying, the Vertical Screw Conveyor ESV stands out for its compact footprint and low maintenance requirements. With carefully optimised pitch and screw speed ratios, it minimises pulsation and material fallback—common challenges in vertical screw convey. As a result, these systems offer high conveying efficiency with an excellent tonnes per kilowatt-hour (t/kWh) ratio.
Among the most innovative features of WAMGROUP’s screw conveyors are highly wear-resistant SINT® Engineering Polymers and surface treatments designed to protect components from corrosive or highly abrasive dusts.
Equally important are ATEX certifications, which enable these conveyors to be used in environments with the potential or constant presence of explosive dust. Additionally, compliance with EC 1935 regulations ensures suitability for food industry applications.
Drag Chain Conveyors and Bucket Elevators: Built for Demanding Environments
Where applications call for an alternative to screw conveyors, drag chain conveyors offer a robust solution. WAMGROUP’s heavy-duty models are particularly well-suited to handling clinker, recycled plastics, and biomass. Key design features include:
- Hardened steel chains and wear-resistant liners
- Segmented housings for easier maintenance and assembly
Similarly, WAMGROUP’s bucket elevators are built for demanding vertical applications. They incorporate self-cleaning discharge zones, belt misalignment detection, and, where required, explosion relief panels. Their modular construction enables customisation in terms of height, throughput, and material compatibility.
Thanks to WAMGROUP’s industrial-scale production processes, quality and delivery performance consistently meet the expectations of global markets.
Maintenance and Lifecycle Considerations
WAMGROUP’s commitment extends beyond equipment supply to embrace the entire lifecycle of its equipment. Promoting a philosophy of preventive maintenance, the company incorporates practical features to support regular inspections and servicing:
- Access panels and quick release covers across the product range
- Standardised components, reducing the need for extensive spare parts stock
- Condition monitoring integration for high-capacity systems
Global Reach, Local Expertise
With production and service centres in more than 40 countries, WAMGROUP supports engineering partners with short lead times, local compliance knowledge, and multilingual technical support. The company’s R&D hubs in Italy continuously develop and test new conveying technologies, drawing on feedback from thousands of industrial applications worldwide.
WAMGROUP’s strength lies not only in the breadth of its product range but also in its engineering culture. Its conveying systems are more than mechanical components—they are enablers of efficient, safe, and hygienic processing. For plant designers and operators looking for performance, dependability, and expert support, WAMGROUP offers not just equipment—but long-term partnership backed by nearly 60 years of experience.
